"Why do you come to bed in such late hours","Who is that man in the cloak who leaves the same hour every night?" And "What secrets are you harbouring my dearest?"

Finding an agreement with two names on it. Signed by two people,her husband and Frances Theleaux.She lifted the papers to see if her eyes were deceiving her.

The Grimaldi children had been startled by the loud noise waking only four of the six children.
